Thumbs up New Rubber and Springs

Just got H&R Sports installed with a new set of Yokohama AVS ES100. I stayed with the stock size, 215/50/17. I wanted to do this long ago, but waited until the Michelins were just about worn out, at 48,000 miles.
I want to add my thumbs up to those who have the H&R sports. There's much less roll and dive with a definite improvement in contact, turn in, and feel. And because these tires are actually softer feeling, there is a noticeable reduction in harsness over bumps and depressions.
The Yokohamas are really nice. I read a bunch of reviews (several Accords but no TL's) and everyone was giving them 8-9 out of 10, with the only negative that they can't be used in snow. I probably won't run these in rain until the fall, so I can't say for sure, but they are supposed to be pretty good in the wet as well. So far, they feel outstanding. The grip is tons better, the road noise is less than the Michelins and they look great. We'll see if they have any wear longevity. They are classified as Ultra High performance tires, but have a pretty hight wear rating.
